Paish’s article (and its discussion in the Statistical Society (article pp. 167-87; discussion, pp. 187-200)) shows that the author wasverycautious and careful.

He excluded conversions—taking not nominal, but issue prices of securities—and to avoid duplication tookincomefrom securities, etc. The value of his data is thereforeinfinitelygreater than that of the baseless “data” on France and Germany.

His main work relates to1907-08.
